Yes it matters, it also matters that it didn’t have a video or a radio deal.

 

It didn’t have an ad with AM and it did better there too. 
 

 

Not sure what video, radio and AM have to do with Spotify numbers when I'm pointing out the great push the song is receiving on Spotify?

Also pop acts usually don't do well on AM so no one is actually surprised at that. As I said though, good numbers for Bey

[Hurem]

Why do Bey stans think a music video (not available on Spotify) has more impact on Spotify streams than Spotify playlists?

Why are we counting unfiltered streams in a desperate attempt to edge out Beyonce? And so funny how yall just tried to downplay a 1 million gap as "minor" when these streams are a difference of 188k. Why did Gaga have such a large discrepancy for her unfiltered in the first place? 

 

Gaga already had better placement on streaming with the success of Shallow. On top of getting the cover of TTH after yall lied and denied that. So what are we missing here? Yall primed Chromatica as a huge comeback and it wasn't that.

The Monsters are really something else. You are literally dragging your own fave rn more than anyone.

The "Stupid Love" comparisons are so sad especially given that the flop single had New Music Friday exposure, released on a Friday alongside a music video; ALL of which was promoted well before the actual release

 

NOW LETS COMPARE...

 

"BREAK MY SOUL" being announced just hours before its release on an Instagram bio on a Tuesday... now chile

 

It's actually worse that the Little Monsters are trying to compare because it just goes to show how much the demand for Gaga has gone down. All that promo and exposure and Beyonce pulls more numbers in the same time without even a quarter of that exposure. Oopsie daisies. Time to go back to the seething board.

It's not 'around the same' if it's 1M ahead of it and on a Tuesday, at that... 

 

Mind you she's been in the game for 25 years and she hasn't built her success on dance-pop hits like Gaga has. No wonder y'all are all fuming in here ?

Gaga stans claiming a 1 million difference in streams under totally different release strategies is "minor". 

 

Are yall taking 1 million less of a payout? You think Bezos or Elon are happy about paying 1 million in taxes? Are yall discounting your fave selling 1 million albums? How are we quantifying the difference as "minor"? And whose comparing these songs? Bey is literally in a league of her own. 25 years vs 12. Hello!?

You gaga fans are making a complete fool of yourselves. Should have sat there and ate your food. Like your fave didn’t leech on Ariana to save her flop of an era.

 

OT: Great numbers, the fact that she’s smashing like this 25 years in. My god

Lady Gaga stans have found themselves in EVERY SINGLE Beyoncé thread this week JUST to get dragged.

 

These are NOT SL numbers...

 

This was a Tuesday release, without a full day of tracking + no MV and 25 years into a career and it STILL did more than SL. 

 

Not to mention it wiped the floor with the latter on Apple Music.

 

Stop embarrassing yourselves please, one of these songs is going to be a legit hit and it's NOT Stupid Love

Wait so Break My Soul did one million more streams than SL and yet the Monsters are calling it a flop?

 

Y'all must really think very low of your fave then

These are good numbers and more than I was expecting.
 

Not sure why Monsters are trying it when this is more than Stupid Love AND it’s also doing WAY better on Apple Music (#3 vs #49)

 

The video isn’t even out yet.

the same boring excuse as if the GP cares about leaks 

several songs that leaked still smashed later so your argument doesn’t make sense

 

I guess above your fave since BMH did almost 25% more than SL even though its was not released on a friday with only 20 hours of tracking

oop ?

[Mr. Duff]

Why is it being compared with Stupid Love? This song will have longevity and the debut is decent especially since it's not a Friday release.

[zzmyth]

why keep on comparing artists¿?

 

I mean... for Bey standards... its a great result.

 

be happy for her (or dont)

 

But her last song has 10M streams and has been out for months.... so +5M in the first day is a good result.

Isn't a music video a form of promotion that spreads even more the news about a new song that was just released?

[Ratviolo]

Why did Gaga have such a large discrepancy for her unfiltered in the first place? 

Spotify charts only counted a maximum of 10 streams per user per day when Stupid Love debuted compared to 20 streams per user per day now - which also explains why the unfiltered/filtered ratio is substantially bigger for Stupid Love compared to Break My Love.

 

6 minutes ago, Dreajae said:

Gaga already had better placement on streaming with the success of Shallow.

This doesn't really make sense especially considering Beyoncé's Tuesday release without all the New Music Friday playlists had a 100M playlist reach compared to Gaga's Friday release with all the New Music Friday playlists had a 75M playlist reach

The argument for the past decade was that Beyonce needs a music video to garner interest in her music and career. Another cheap shot that never held any merit. Now yall are trying to move the goalpost again. 

 

Your fave rolled out all the stops for her lead single and was met with so so reception. Hive had nothing to do with that. Now yall are using literally made up formulas trying to apply inflation to streams from 2020. Who else would be so desperate?

BMS had a 25 million more playlist reach and did LESS than Stupid Bomb

Does it really matter Break My Soul wasn't a Friday release when it had 100M playlist reach on first day despite a Tuesday release and without New Music Friday playlists while Stupid Love only had 75M playlist reach with a Friday release and New Music Friday playlists

 

 

Good numbers nonetheless for Bey 

Where do you see these stats?

So why doesn't this logic and ridiculous formula apply to GaGas 2022 singles? 

 

Again, your fave was already primed for bigger success with SL due to her success with Shallow. Yall literally bragged on this everyday. Your fave got the TTH cover and #1 position. And now yall are mad that yall literally jumped the gun in unnecessarily comparing SL to BMS and have to run to unfiltered streams and hypotheticals to argue relevance. 

 

The Single Ladies hit maker won.

Which Gaga's 2022 singles? Hold My Hand? That song has been dragged to hell and back by atrl with dozens of threads with 30+ pages

Hold My Hand already outperformed basically every other soundtrack single released in recent times besides Gaga's own Shallow and Billie's No Time To Die, not to mention you're comparing a random soundtrack single which debuted with abysmal playlist reach (7M) to the lead single to a highly anticipated studio album after 6 years of hype with massive playlist reach (100M)

 

However, I was just bringing up some context. As I've said multiple times already, Bey's numbers are good so congrats to her

[KingB®]

Omg is this still going on?

 

impacto

 

[Doogle]

The way monsters have to keep fighting for Stupid Love because of trolls like Pop  

[Steve Johnson]

3 minute+ song , no feature, no poppy track, (most are usually 2-3 minutes with catchy hook), no playlisting , no promo, no RADIO , no tik tok challenge (love that app btw), NO music video, released on Tuesday. Just pure fan love

 

Ps: copied from This Love TV thread.

...Bey still did more on the global chart and this is too little of a difference on the counter for y'all to be so loud about it.

Gaga was coming off a 'career re-peak' and Beyoncé pulled those numbers after years of flopping according to you girls (not to mention Apple Music where BMS destroyed SL). It's kinda embarrassing for y'all and I fear it's not gonna get any better in the long run

Not yall constantly trying to imply the system is against Gaga. Gaga uses a combination of factors to bolster her relevancy and never skips out on being seen. Literally all her peers have taken a break in the last 5 years except her. She's no stranger to TTH and extensive playlisting. Sometimes the budget and proganda allows for more or less. That's really all there is to it. 

 

But thank you for congratulating Bey whilst being backhanded. But yall really should be embarassed with how yall got dragged in here.

isn't  MV a more attractive way of listening to that song instead of just audio so it might acutaly decrease the audio streams...refute my argument now

I think this has been explained in other 3000 posts here. 

 

OT: this is such an embarrassing thread. You guys should not be fighting. 

[Schoolin' Life]

Bey numbers are impressive, considering the lenght of BMS among other, already mentioned things. The song is different for B and yet very much dinstinctive thans to her  ocals and harmonies. I'm hyped for new era.
